Amir Khan Can Fight at 147 Like Pacquiao, Says Roach

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Trainer Freddie Roach says WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan can easily move up to welterweight and beyond, and win titles in multiple divisions like Manny Pacquiao. Roach trains both fighters and has them spar often during training camps. Khan defends his title against undefeated Dimitry Salita in Newcastle on December 5. [details]

If he got knocked out by a light weight then he'll definately get knocked out by a welterweight

He has the talent but if 140 pounders can knock him cold then top guys at 147 would bust him up as well. We'll see, who would have thought Pac would be TKOing Cotto a year ago? Khan has the talent, and talent conquers all.

since when has Khan been knocked out by a Light Welterweight?

[Sicario]

he was KOed by Prescott at 135, he's fighting much better at 140 though

Gotta start improving that chin amir!

[Shattered Jaw]

Dear me. Amir Khan at 147 would be sanctioned murder. Imagine him versus Cotto, Mosley, PlasterCheato, Williams etc. It doesn't even bear thinking about. Let alone a monster like Pavlik.

Anyone from 140+ KTFO Khan in 1 (minute).

[El_Cholo]

give Khan time to fully develop, if Pac can be the monster he is under Roach and his conditioning coach, then imagine what Khan will be like in 7/8 years time.

Plus Khan is on the same diet and supplements that Pac gets.
